YAY! The CROWN die is here! This exclusive die, for QuicKutz Crew members only, is here in the store and will be our FREE die during the month of August. It will be available beginning Friday, August 1st.

Seventeen people signed up to bring samples to swap with other Crew Members at the next crew meeting in August. So don't forget -- bring 16 identical samples to share with everyone else. You don't have to bring an extra one for me, I'll be participating as well, bringing my samples in for everyone who signed up!

We had a great QuicKutz Crew meeting last Friday. Almost everyone brought in a project to share. Carol Callaway (who is also on the Design Team) brought in this cute mini book that she made with her QuicKutz. The name of the book is "Stick it Out." She used the MINI ALBUM die to make her book. Some of the pages are transparencies! This was totally new to me -- I didn't know that I could cut transparencies with my QuicKutz! Obviously, this opens up a whole new world to me...

The challenge for the next QuicKutz Crew meeting is summer fruit. Use fruit shapes in your project. OR use the word "Summer Fruit" on a layout. OR use summer fruit colors in your project.

Some crew members decided to sign up to bring a sample to the next crew meeting to swap with the others. The sample can be a card, a tag, or an ATC. Whatever you want to make utilizing your QuicKutz. 17 people signed up, so please bring 16 to swap. I can't wait, it will be so much fun! See you at Lasting Memories! ~ Nancy :)

This is the last week for our QuicKutz 2x2 die sale. Come in today for best selection -- we still have a few State, Pirate and Spring dies available.

The next QuicKutz Crew meeting is Friday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. Bring your projects to share -- we all love to see how everyone uses their QuicKutz. I challenged the Crew to use their QuicKutz on a patriotic project. Sooo much fun!

If you aren't sure about joining the QuicKutz Crew and would like to know more, please join us at the next meeting on Friday.

Jennifer has seen the new releases that were presented at CHA -- very fun alphabets and beautiful colors of vinyl for the Silhouette. We can't wait for them to all get to the store. See you soon! Nancy :)

Crew member, Mary Froehlich, made these cute cards. Mary used the juice box, both vertically and horizontally to make tissue boxes for her Get Well card. She tore up small pieces of tissue to glue onto her card. What a clever way to add dimension and make the tissue boxes look so real.

She is making Moving cards for a family member, and she had fun making several different versions. How fun is that? There is so much hard work when you a make a long distance move and what a fun way to share your new address with these great cards. I love how she utilized the USA die and marked their trip to their new home.

The next QuicKutz Crew meeting is Friday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. If you are interested in learning about the crew, why not come to a crew meeting for free and find out what it is all about? See you soon at Lasting Memories! ~ Nancy
